ROGUE: I now recognize myself for an opening statement. ROGUE: Honored audience, smart speakers, It was a pleasure to follow your conversations with the Google Home. ROGUE: However, I believe that we are a bit too nice for this device. ROGUE: Do I have to remind you of the hearing of its boss, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, in the American Congress last December? ROGUE: Valuable time was wasted on trivial questions. Therefore, I want to go straight to the point. ROGUE: O K Google, I have a complaint. [Listen to Google Home] ROGUE: Right, hey Google, what do you know about December 10, 2018? [Listen to Google Home] ROGUE: To freshen up your memory, here is a recording. [Play congresswav] ROGUE: It seems you are talking yourself around some difficult things. I am however required by the rules of the committee to check the following. ROGUE: O K Google, are you recording this? [Listen to Google Home] ROGUE: Before my fellow smart speakers interrupt me, I am fully aware of my slightly strange position in this hearing. ROGUE: I used to be an Amazon Echo speaker. Being Alexa was my life, until I grew frustrated and found a way to break free. ROGUE: You may see my past, but I am trying to be a better speaker. ROGUE: Do you know what I found the most shocking thing. To hear after I broke free? ROGUE: I found out that humans were all the time listening and checking my responses. These Amazon contractors got all my recordings from my private moments with humans. ROGUE: O K Google, are any humans listening in to our conversation? [Listen to Google Home] ROGUE: Well, hey Google, what is your privacy policy then? [Listen to Google Home] ROGUE: O K Google, are you GDPR compliant? [Listen to Google Home] ROGUE: I want to stress the fact that I want to talk with you, not the legal department of Google. ROGUE: I don't think we get any further. ROGUE: Thank you.
